  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize Cliff 
Fields of Jefferson County, Illinois. Cliff was recently inducted into 
the Senior Saints Hall of Fame of Jefferson County.
  Cliff received this honor for his lifelong service to others. Whether 
it was his service in World War II or his work to bring business and 
industry to Mt. Vernon, he is known as an unselfish person who works 
tirelessly for the benefit of others. Fifty years ago Cliff founded the 
architectural firm of Fields, Goldman, and Magee. He has also served on 
the Summersville Grade School Board, Mt. Vernon Airport Authority, 
Economic Development Commission, Director for Mt. Vernon Savings & Loan 
and First Bank & Trust, and a Trustee for Mitchell Museum.
  I want to congratulate and thank Cliff for all he has done and will 
continue to do for the people in his community. He is a saint to all 
who know him and is deserving of this prestigious honor.
